28 weeks

I'm so excited to be in my 3rd trimester! I absolutely cannot wait to meet this little girl! I have been having some anxiety about her coming...about labor, about money, about being a mommy, etc. It's a little overwhelming when everything REALLY hits you! I just desperately hope that I am a good mommy to her and that she won't keep me up all night every night because I have no choice other than to be a working mom. I wish I could stay at home with her for her first year of life but, as of right now, that is absolutely not an option. I also hope that I can successfully nurse her even though I will be working. I cannot afford to see a lactation consultant so I have been reading books about nursing. If anyone has good suggestions for breastfeeding books, please let me know!

I had my glucose test this morning. The drink wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was sooo sweet that it hurt my stomach. Fasting for 12 hours and then drinking all that sugar didn't feel too good. I hope that's not a bad sign! When they drew blood from me, the girl had to stick me 3 times! One of those times she just dug around in my arm with the needle trying to find my vein! It was not fun. My arm is super sore now. ugh.

Ellas has been doing great. She's back to her old self...kicking and squirming all the time! She has even begun to interfere with my sleep. Sometimes she kicks me so hard it startles me awake. Sleeping has become a chore for me lately. This belly makes it very difficult to get comfortable. Not to mention, I have had such horrible sinus problems since I've been pregnant that I can't breathe through my nose and I end up laying in a puddle of drool most nights. lol.

Love my baby girl:)
